Presented by The Pavilion
Direct from its rave-reviewed season at the UK’s prestigious Edinburgh Fringe Festival, don’t miss BEETLE as it takes off on its Australian tour, reminding young audiences that there is an important place in the world for all of us. ★★★★
An instant Australian classic, BEETLE tells the story of a child who finds a friend in her backyard, the elusive Christmas Beetle. Together, they go on an immersive journey into the Aussie bush, fusing puppetry, physical theatre, circus, projections and original illustrations in this imaginative new story for kids aged 6+.
The magic of the bush habitat is brought to life through Legs On The Wall’s trademark physical storytelling, and animation created from original artworks by beloved children’s author and illustrator Freya Blackwood.
Beetle was commissioned by the North Australian Festival of Arts (NAFA) and The Art House — Wyong.
